Susette is doing pretty well, considering what she has gone through. i am amazed at her upbeat attitude and how wonderful she looks. The chemo, unfortunately, has a cumulative effect that has reduced Susette's energy and stamina significantly. Those of you who know Susette know that she is a pretty active and high energy person. The treatments have made her slow down quite a bit.
Recently, our daughter Jasmine and her son Levi visited us from Virginia. It was wonderful and a true joy for Susette. Although Susette had great plans to take them all around Southern Cal, the reality of how she was feeling kept her home most of the time. But she made the most of it for sure. During the week, Susette's energy would re-emerge from time to time and i'd catch her in the midst of a competitive round of table tennis with Jasmine or praise dancing around the room to a favorite worship tune.
Seeing her grandson Levi was also a major blessing. She holds such a deep love for this special little guy. We all love Levi so very much. He is a cute, smart little boy and we have missed both Levi and Jasmine a great deal.
Jasmine and Levi's visit was a great distraction from the brutal cycle of chemo treatments, medications and daily efforts to avoid viruses and germs that could harm her dangerously volatile immune system. We hated to see them go.
By the way, did i mention -- WE ONLY HAVE 4 MORE CHEMO TREATMENTS TO GO! Praise the Lord!!!! The next one is scheduled for this Friday, June 23rd.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support. We are so very grateful!
God bless you.
